[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the quota - how many decisions per day/month?
Job posting says not a virtual position - what are the chances of working from home?
Is the quota doable for an experienced atty (former big law)?
How many hours do most realistically have to work to meet quota?
I’m considering applying, currently with another agency on temp appt., had quotas the entire time.
My NTE will be ending soon. I’m sure I can get a “better” job, but I do not enjoy practicing law.
I’m simply looking for another Fed position (must allow telework) with a steady paycheck and health insurance.
How quickly do they start terminating ppl - one, three, six months?
If I know I’m not meeting my quota, I would just quit before being terminated.
And, are they always hiring the entire time the posting is listed, or do they hire a large number of ppl only after terminating current e/ees?
Trying to determine whether to apply after I exhaust my UI when my NTE ends?
Is it really THAT bad as some of the previous posts suggest?? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Read through the thread.  you will find that the specifics of how much you will need to work will depend on you as an individual, your experience, and most importantly, your judge.  [/quote]

The attorney job at BVA is challenging for most attorneys due to the onerous quota. But, attorney experiences vary greatly depending on their judge. If you get assigned to a good natured judge who grants 95+ of claims (grants are very easy to write), you will have a decent time at BVA - the top producing attorneys at BVA are assigned to judges with very high grant rates. On the other hand, if you are assigned to a judge who has a bad temper and/or denies most claims, your experience at BVA will be rough - writing a denial takes much longer to write, but count the same as grants with regard to the quota. You will have no input as to who you are assigned to. Even if you like your judge, there is no guarantee you will remain with the same judge forever.[/quote]
